Version (1.0.35) released. Bugfixes and AI speed ups

by **telengard** » 22 Aug 2010, 02:40

It's been almost 2 months since a release, and although I was waiting for the new AI algorithms to be 100%, I didn't want to sit on the bugfixes and default AI speedups too much longer. Please note that the Mac OS X version hasn't been uploaded yet, I'm tracking down a bad crash w/ the wx version.

What's new in this release:

- Lots of bugfixes thanks to feedback on the forums and emails. Unravel, Flanking, Darkheart, Channel, Frightwave, Rampage, and more.
- A very nice new background image (of the actual game board) and some small aesthetic tweaks to rendering the cells.
- The wx GUI updates a lot faster now after making a move.
- A lot of time was spent optimizing and the AI is now a lot faster.
- There are 2 new AI algorithms which are enabled and working, but are not finished yet (so they will make some bad plays). Feel free to experiment but don't expect them to play better than minimax (yet).

Full changes for this release are in the CHANGELOG

Enjoy!
